Boosting Battery Life For RISC Processors
prostoalex writes "National Semiconductor and ARM Holdings will jointly develop the power management solution for RISC chips, that they estimate will improve battery life by 25-400%. The target date of the first sample product is Q2 2003." My old Tadpole laptop sure could have used this. I counted myself as lucky when I got a whole 45 minutes out of a battery.
this has been the case since the good old Acorn days... :)
"They [the Chechens] talk about killing non-Muslims and if you are a Christian, you are in danger. And even if you are an atheist, you are in danger," Mr Putin is quoting as saying.
This is none other than Russian's extremely popular president, Vladimir Putin, who stated this recently, damning the Muslim fanatics. The end is nigh for Islamists. With Russia on board with the U.S. they will all be destroyed. The combined military power of the two, along with the U.K., bitchslapped Hitler (whose regime was far more powerful than anything these loonies can hope to slap together.) Death to Islamists!!
According to the article:
Arm's Intelligent Energy Manager solution implements advanced algorithms to optimally balance processor workload and energy consumption, while maximizing system responsiveness to meet end-user performance expectations.
Transmeta's only claim to fame for their chips was using software to reduce power consumption, and it worked -- obviously, the Intelligent Energy Manager is just a ripoff of Transmeta's design. Linus should sue.
Umm, while I agree with you, I wonder why you posted this here?
Repeal the 17th Amendment TODAY! Also Please Read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html
> Linux: Download, compile, install, and reboot with the latest kernel.
I disagree.
Windows: Click start->Windows updates, download 50 megabytes of patches, accept license agreement (you read it, right?), install and reboot.
Linux (Debian): "apt-get update". Proceed.
Sure, you should reboot on kernel upgrades but seriously - who upgrades their kernel every week? -$|{

Jipping sold you a tadpole?
